Penlux Masterpiece Grande Reserva Blue Tears Fountain Pen

Penlux Masterpiece Grande Reserva Blue Tears Fountain Pen The Masterpiece Grande Reserva Blue Tears draws its name from the blue tears of Matsu, Taiwan — a phenomenon caused by Noctiluca Scintillans, a type of microorganism in the water. By day it presents as a reddish, rusty tint; at night, the algae glow blue when agitated by waves, a defensive reaction to escape predators. This rare natural light show inspired the Reserva Blue Tears, Penlux's most premium Masterpiece Grande, finished with rhodium-plated trim.
